I can wait. I don't want other plastics bleeding over.
No doubt, that is the fear.

Sad about Kastaplast. Luckily I have enough Bergs to last a lifetime.
I don't like trilogy plastic so now I'm hesitant to try new Kasta molds moving forward. Shame
Over the past 2 years, Kastaplast has been one of the most readily available companies, at least to our store. Far more (3X-10X) than Discraft, Lat64, Westside, and Discmania. I order hundreds per month, every month. I just got another order in that is waiting to be opened. I haven't had an issue getting stock whatsoever. Here, Falks sell third fastest behind the Berg and Lots, and we still have 8 or so of them left from this past order. I don't think there's ever been a 2 month stretch where I couldn't order any specific mold. As for "what Kastaplast they have is it for a while....they haven't been able to order any more", I haven't heard of this issue anywhere. Doesn't mean it's not happening, but, like I said, I just ordered and received more.
Also, here's to hoping they don't change their plastic blends.
For a while they were not taking any new wholesale accounts. That probably helped quite a bit.
If Kastaplast is still making their own discs....why did they need to partner with L64? Especially since L64 is making their own discs and other brand's discs.
Economies of scale would be my guess.
I just don't get it though....which is why I posted my question/thoughts. If Kastaplast can't keep up with the demand, why don't they expand their own plant? And if they decided they needed a partner, why L64? L64 is making discs for a bunch of companies now....so where will Kastaplast fit into that?
Maybe L64 owns a certain plastic blend that Kastaplast wants to use for discs? Kastaplast has their K1 and K3 lines....they used to have K2, but don't carry/make it any more....maybe that is what L64 will be producing?
I just don't see what L64 is "bringing to the table" for Kastaplast and I'm in the 'wait and see' mode to see what the future holds for Kastaplast. Meanwhile, I know where I can get replacement discs now.
The only K2 I had was more like a cheap promo frisbee at a trade show than K1 Soft is today. Was there more than one version of K2?
Or look here. 20 vendors that say they have stock. https://trydiscs.com/iso-search?q=falk&country=us
